    Should be able rate Ash a solid ten out of 5. I hunted for an artist for a couple of years, saved up my pennies and knew exactly what I wanted. I was extremely fussy but also concerned because being a big girl, was scared I won't find anyone willing to work with me to get what I wanted. All those fears was unnecessary - Ash contacted me straight away, I sent her as much info as I wanted, she never made me feel like a pain (or an annoying Karen). I had a really big session yesterday and being a back piece it was very painful. Ash was so professional, so encouraging and incredibly patient. She completely understood what I wanted, made me my custom piece and I am absolutely STOKED with the end result. It is a very personal piece, for my own reasons and this means so much to me, that on top of the wonderful service I received from my beautiful amazingly talented artist has made this one of my favourite experiences! The rest of the team was also incredibly friendly, professional and accommodating, I will definitely be back again! Thanks Team, you are all so amazing, but special thanks to Ash (say Hi to your beautiful Mum for me please x)

    My husband and I recently had memorial pieces done in honour of our son who we tragically lost in a vehicle accident a year ago. (Junior for my hubby & Ash for mine) they both captured our visions perfectly. Everyone at Tattoo Gold made us feel welcome and were compassionate and professional. Highly recommended as the place to go. We will be back for more!!

    Coen, my tattooist is a true professional. This was my first tattoo experience so was very scary for me regarding the pain etc. My fears soon vanished as every step was explained to me & it was important to Coen that I was comfortable & happy with the final result. I am absolutely delighted with what was achieved & I only wish that I'd done this years ago. Thank you so much for your wonderful work which is so appreciated. 👌 Warm regards - Sue I would highly recommend you to any friends that were considering getting a tattoo cosmetic or otherwise.

    This place is absolutely amazing!! When I first got there and walked inside I noticed right away the beautifully presented and so so clean. The artist who did my tattoo was Jarad, he was polite and friendly and super bubbly, as I’m an anxious person it was nice to be in the presence of someone who isn’t intimidating and carried on a conversation. As for the tattoo itself, he was gentle and precise and very professional. I’m obsessed with my new piece and will definitely be back for more. Thanks Jarad and tattoo gold for the awesome experience 🥰🥰 -Nita.

    I visited Tattoo Gold a couple weeks ago to get my first tattoo and had a fantastic experience. My tattoo artist Jared was incredible, made the process super easy and smooth, super stoked with the result. Would highly recommend coming to Tattoo Gold for your tattoo needs especially if Jared is your artist.

    I went to Tattoo Gold to get my very first tattoo, a memorial in honour of my beloved husband who passed away earlier this year. Getting this tattoo was so very important to me and I honestly could not have asked for a better first tattoo experience. I felt very safe and comfortable as soon as I arrived at Tattoo Gold. Coen was so professional, kind, and welcoming. He explained the whole process so clearly, listened, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. What a positive experience I had. I love my tattoo, it is perfect and is so lovely and I can’t stop admiring the delicate fine lines and design. Thank you so much Coen for giving me my beautiful memorial tattoo.

    Tattoo gold is second to none in my opinion! I specifically chose tattoo gold because I wanted my tattoos to stand out amongst the rest and my expectations have always been exceeded. I have been to tattoo gold for my sleeve and recently started a back piece. Coen Mitchel is extremely skilled and i have been consistently impressed how each piece has turned out. The studio balances an extremely professional setting with a hospitable, friendly and fun environment. The other artists there that I've met so far - Maxime, Cristiana, Kieth and Miti are all great artists and provide some great banter while visiting, each of them has a unique style which really makes this place your go to for any type of tattoo you could imagine.

    I had an incredible experience at Tattoo Gold. My artist (Coen) was a true professional, and his skill is unmatched. Completely different to my last shop, I felt comfortable and confident that the tattoo was going to be perfect and turned out better than my already sky high expectations. I highly recommend Tattoo Gold for anyone looking to get a tattoo. Fantastic place with top-notch artists!

    I got my first Tattoo here at Tattoo Gold by Junior Silivaai and I would recommend this shop and this artist to anyone. His wife Erin did a very professional job at helping figure out the design and booking the appointment. Then once everything was set, Junior did a great job at taking it easy on me with plenty of breaks since I never had a tattoo before. After an almost 7 hour session we finished and I received the instructions on how to continue the healing process. The info pamphlet and products they gave us after our session were very helpful and perfect for the healing process. I don’t know a lot of places that give the proper soap and moisturizing cream after getting a tattoo so I was most grateful for that once I noticed that wasn’t widespread anywhere you go.

    Such an amazing space full of talented staff and artwork. Coming to a new city it hard trying to work out where to go for tattoos. The whole process here was perfect start to finish. Was really good watching all the artist 🎨 work on their clients and their amazing skill level. So Impressed I've booked again

    Stunning shop. It's really modern, clean, and spacious with a great atmosphere. Ti-An was my artist, and she did a fantastic job. The line work is great - clean, neat lines. And although it was only a small tatt... she didn't treat me with any less professionalism than someone who was getting a full back piece. I am sure I will be back.

    I saw Ash for my first tattoo. Ash was amazing. Professional, informative, and an incredible artist. She took my concept idea and produced something even better. The fine line work was outstanding. I felt in very safe hands and am so happy with outcome. Great after care advice which meant healing was fast. Thank you so much Ash for making the process for this newbie so easy and fun.

    I would 100% recommend it! I came here for my first tattoo today, and from the moment I arrived, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. My artist, Ash (@avdtatts on Instagram), was amazing and couldn't have improved my first tattoo experience. She was very calm and friendly to talk to and explained everything before, during, and after. I felt very comfortable during the session and was extremely happy with the result. I will be back for more tattoos after the experience I had today <3

    It took me 22 years to get a memorial tattoo for my late husband and at 59 it was my first tattoo. I cannot recommend Tattoo gold and Ash in particular for such a positive and supportive experience. I loved how Ash listened to what was important to me in a design I wanted and guided me through the process. She is a talented artist and I felt in very safe hands. Highly recommend and I will be back.

    Junior at tattoogold is the best artist for black & grey realism! I spent over a year searching for the right person and came across Junior's Instagram profile, where his work speaks for itself. Erin was also amazing with bookings, aftercare follow-up, and discussing my tattoo ideas for a full sleeve based on family, travel, and football career. Working with Junior was great; we had awesome chats and lots of laughter during the sessions. Every time I sore the progress & end result on my sleeve, I'm left speechless by Junior's work. His ideas perfectly align & exceed what I wanted for the sleeve. He's a true lad and a talented artist! Can't wait to see you again soon, bro! I highly recommend him and plan to continue working on my sleeve and future projects with him. If you're unsure or want a tattoo, don't hesitate to contact Junior! Current work done by Junior below 😍

  • 3/5 C P. 8 months ago on Google
    This review is about Junior, not specifically tattoo gold. I had a large piece done here over multiple sessions and I didnt have a great experience to be honest. The design wasnt shown to me until the day leaving me very little time to decide if I was ok with it or not and no time to make adjustments. At one stage his wife erin said the second half of the tattoo had been designed but i cant see it and to trust junior. Junior is a good artist but I think design work should go back and forward weeks before the appointment rather than the day. As a result im not that happy with my tattoo and am working on changing it. Shop is good otherwise. Clean, some parking.

  • 5/5 Miracle K. 8 months ago on Google
    This has to be the experience! Especially cause it was my first tattoo. This tattoo means a lot to me. So it took awhile for me to finalise who I was gonna to. But man Thanks to the uso Junior for getting it done perfectly! Definitely the best experience and this tattoo has kept me going despite what happened. So really recommend getting a tattoo at Tattoo Gold with the uso Junior

    I have been coming to the tattoo gold studio for the past year and love each and everyone of my experiences here. Everyone is so nice and made me feel part of the tattoo gold family My artist Gypsy is so talented and is an amazing artist. Thanks B 🙏

  • 5/5 Lachlan A. 7 months ago on Google
    Myself and three friends saw Jimmy at Tattoo Gold and had such a fantastic experience. Such great work with our designs and had a great experience working to put the final piece together. Hygiene was great, and the final piece was exactly what we wanted with great detail and such a fun process. We can’t wait to come back 🤘🏽

  • 5/5 HYthequeen 6 months ago on Google
    Wanted to give a huge shoutout to the wonderful Tian (Toni) who has done 3+ pieces for me now over the past few years. Incredible professionalism, so much care and every single piece has exceeded expectations. The healing process has been easy every single time and this goes to show how clean and hygienic the studio is. The vibes are so relaxed and friendly, artists will often come and have a chat/introduce themselves during your tattoo and the owner was so lovely too. 10/10 would recommend

  • 5/5 Rachael L. 2 years ago on Google
    Would 100% recommend! From the moment you walk in the door you receive a warm welcome. Every single detail is GOLD class, from the beautiful Studio, digital sign in, even the aftercare package had so much love put into it (it wasn't just an after thought). Then theirs the quality, detail & care that went into designing and creating my sick tattoo, absolutely love it - Thank you Coen. I'll definitely be back for more.

  • 5/5 sarah m. 11 months ago on Google
    Clean, professional artists, great space. Both my adult children have had pieces done here and are keen to go back for more. They listened, collaborated and offered suggestions and after care was also great.

  • 5/5 Annaliese W. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here to get my first tattoo done in memory of my best friend and I couldn’t have picked a better place to come. All the artists were friendly and professional. The shop was also very clean and well kept. My tattoo was done by Coen and I love that he gave me options of what my tattoo could look like and made changes when I asked. He was very patient and understanding with me and he did a fantastic job of my tattoo. I will most definitely be back in the future 😊

  • 5/5 Mary B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing experience! Got my first tattoo done here by Diego and him along with the rest of the whole team were so accomodating and welcoming and am so happy with my tattoo

  • 5/5 Ella S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fun time getting a tat from Coen! He was professional, clean and chill. He listened to what I wanted and was super happy to adjust a few things. 5/5

  • 5/5 Harriet W. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal experience at Tattoo gold. The team were so kind and welcoming and the artist Cairo was very professional. An all round great experience.

  • 5/5 Frederica S. 1 year ago on Google
    The whole experience was fantastic and I can’t recommend Coen enough. The studio is beautifully designed and Coen was helpful from booking the appointment, understanding what I want and doing the tattoo itself. Coen took the time to explain everything, make sure I was happy with the design and the end result is perfect. He is very talented and I’m so pleased with the outcome.

  • 5/5 Summer H. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my second time getting tattooed by Coen Mitchell, and as expected, it was fantastic. Coen is respectful, efficient and incredibly talented. I got my first tattoo from him six years ago, which still looks fresh and clean today. Tattoo Gold is a great studio - sleek, clean and organised, and has a variety of talented artists. I would highly recommend them if you're looking to get some new ink. I can't wait to get more from them.

  • 5/5 Terese T. 1 year ago on Google
    I had such an awesome experience getting my tattoos done at tattoo gold. Everyone who worked there had great energy, it was clean and their level of artistry is amazing! Big thanks to Coen and the team at Tattoo Gold 💫

  • 5/5 Rachael M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great experience from start to finish …Attention to detail on all levels…the studio is beautiful! Coen is an amazing artist and it shows in his ability and craftsmanship. Professional and caring…I highly recommend this studio. Style and class. Will be back for sure.

  • 5/5 Kaylee M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a good tattoo experience! Coen was super easy to communicate with and went above and beyond for making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. It was such a nice clean and friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Sian C. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly highly recommend! I am so pleased with the design Coen created for me and the tattoo is healing really well. Good atmosphere at the studio with friendly people. Every step of the process was super professional, from the initial communication to the aftercare. Thank you so much!

  • 5/5 Ben U. 1 year ago on Google
    I Had my calf sleeve done over a few sessions and absolutely loved it, junior and Erin provide such a good service and you can tell so much heart goes into all of juniors work! He has such a deep understanding of all types of Polynesian art, and is so in touch with his cultural roots it made the tattoo special for me and all the more meaningful being half Tongan myself!

  • 5/5 John B. 2 years ago on Google
    Got my first tattoo done here by the lovely Ash! Highly recommend! She was very professional throughout the consultation process and did an amazing job on my tattoo. Gentle and friendly, could not have been happier with my experience 👌🏼 The artists here are very professional and good at what they do.

  • 5/5 Lee-Anne & Iain S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely FANTASTIC. My first tattoo and the team were great, Ashleigh explained the full process, what to expect with clear communication the whole way through, the rest of the artists there also really friendly and a great warm vibe, Ash really made the whole experience a great one, loved the design too. Thank you so much I will certainly not be going anywhere else.

  • 5/5 Namitha S. 2 years ago on Google
    I would 100% recommended tattoo gold. I initially contacted Coen regarding the tattoo I wanted and he was very honest about not being able to do it for me and recommended other artists who could do the kind of work I was looking for. Finally I consulted with Ash and that was the best decision I could have made. I got a memorial tattoo of the last conversation I had with my grandfather. Ash was able to beautifully put my idea and her artistic flair together to create a pictorial representation of the conversation. Saying she did a beautiful job is an understatement. I can’t thank her enough for inking out this special piece. 💖

  • 5/5 Cassidy G. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend Tattoo Gold! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the studio is super clean and hygienic, and most importantly I love my tattoo done by Ash (@avd_tatts)!! She made me feel comfortable from the start and I enjoyed my time with her :) I was really nervous relying on someone else to design my tattoo as I’m super particular about each detail but Ash did such an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier, will defs be back for more! Thanks Ash xx
